    So is Jack in the Box going to have a mini liver and onions to pair with the mini sirloin burgers with another awesome ad campaign to back in tup?

  2. Re:Look at it this way on Is the ISS Really Worth $100 Billion? · · Score: 1

    Except each person is not a taxpayer. It should be divided by all taxpayers that eclipse that amount in taxes paid, since they're the ones funding it. According to the Tax Policy Center that number is around 150m, and 40-45% of those pay zero or negative income tax. So now you're left with 90m taxpayers who actually pay taxes. Now you're looking at $1100 per person. That is a much more significant number.

    Now, do the same thing with the numbers spent on stimulus, just for giggles. Pretty ridiculous.

    capacitive can use a real stylus. it just needs to have special conductive material for the tip that conducts the electrical signal of your skin to the point. They used them at the apple store for signing credit purchases.

    the ones ive seen for cap screens are fat like fingers. they are not like fine point pens, like normal stylii

    Have you played CODMW2 on 360? Plenty of cheaters. No admin tools. DRM'd up the ass. Conversely, my TF2 server has an active admin, built in admin tools plus expanded ones built by the community, and has a simple unobtrusive DRM platform.

    Resistive? I'm in. I love resistive. You can use a real stylus and get accurate results. Summary just sold me on a new device for note taking in lectures as my ~3" HTC Kaiser is just too damn small.

  23. Re:Students will complain on Colleges May Start Forcing Switch To eTextbooks · · Score: 5, Interesting

    My college professor for the GE philosophy course I had to take was also the department chair and union president. He said that the other professors were all scumbags and that there is nothing we need in a 150$ textbook that isn't available in a cheap book that may be many years old for the bulk of GE type courses. He also said that charging students for things like Scantron sheets is just another way to punish the students despite all the fees they already pay. To back it up, the only required book was 15$ at Borders(and 0.50 used online) and tests were done on lined paper(for essay) or on an old fashioned circle your answer multiple-choice. Because of his status, no one could threaten him with termination and he'd probably spit in their face if someone tried to. I wish there were more people like him in the college teaching ranks

  24. Re:office suite? on Why Mozilla Needs To Pick a New Fight · · Score: 1

    Users with special needs should develop special applications to handle those needs. Not to mention we're talking about Firefox here, which is the slowest of all browsers as far as initial load times goes and has the most fault intolerant resource allocation since everything is unified under one process. I don't think putting the Firefox team in charge of office suite development would improve on Open Office

  25. Re:office suite? on Why Mozilla Needs To Pick a New Fight · · Score: 1

    Do you need those 3 seconds to do something? If it's quick, notepad & wordpad are more than capable. If you're writing your masters thesis, I think the splash screen is not a big deal. I'd rather the splash screen than having the program running resident in the background(like MSOffice does) eating up my resources.
